here's what people have been saying about rejected in. the show i go out of my way to. really. to say. apparently better than. to see heard of. the. president of the world bank. sent us an e-mail. or headline stories or the syrian army liberate the city of former state's largest stronghold in the. three. is at risk as president

world leaders claiming to breach. the agreement. this is a dangerous signal. many palos not this one. big elections ahead this weekend in austria as an immigration party gains strength. the right. you're cheating in from our right around the world this hour welcome to r.t. international my names you know neal good to have your company we begin with breaking news from syria our government troops have liberated the city of. state according to the russian defense ministry with the details for us. my dean is one of the last remaining isolate strongholds so the liberation of the city is likely to come as a major blow to the terrorist group fighting

a military source the sun the news agency has with its soldiers and now driving they were made to get out of the city for what is underway on relieving land mines and booby traps left behind by the militants fighting lies in the province that she waited just south of the provincial capital and this area has witnessed some of the fiercest fighting between islamic state and syrian forces as government troops battle to push the islamists out syrian army troops successfully reached the outskirts of al my early this month effectively trapping isis in the city and of course russian forces have been actively supporting syrian troops to with the russian naval task force launching cruise missile strikes one terrorist positions in al my scene while dozens of militants have been killed in a series of russian air strikes across the province in recent weeks and all this comes just one day off the russian general staff announced that islamic state now controls less than eight percent of syria due to major successes of the syrian

troops but going to. less than eighty percent of syrian territory it remains under control the rear of the russian war simply will continue its operations against. terrorists with the principle that are completely eliminated the liberation of. that islamic states presence in syria has shrunk further leaving the group wouldn't it and most crucially more vulnerable perhaps the perfect time for government troops to intensify its anti eisel campaign. yeah that's the situation as it stands for more on this let's join him or walk. director of gnosis and organizational reports on syria on the middle east he joins us live you're very welcome how long could it take do you think to liberate this remaining eight percent of syrian territory from. well it's going to take a while because we need to understand that died

a short i says doesn't only operate in syria it also operate in adjacent iraq. for example if we push the syrian army and its allies managed to push. all the way towards the syrian iraqi border it would still be some territory on the eastern of the within iraq which is the west and then bought a province that needs to be cleared israel so both countries are all eyes need to work in tandem otherwise you cannot commit many troops on a very you know extensive border line and be able to protect everything you would have with sometimes it group of one hundred two hundred fighters breaking in then causing havoc just like what happened for example you know pretty attain very recently eastern of homes they traveled about two hundred kilometers actually under the watchful eye of the americans apparently. so it will take some time but

it major city after major city is forming and this is very significant which would hopefully affect the model of the remaining fighters and hasten the fall of the this heinous organization maya deen was liberated i suppose you could say relatively quickly particularly in comparison with juries or several parts of which are still under control what have been the main differences in the two operations. well there is are first of all had been divided as a city between those syrians who did not want to. not accept basically to go under control. so the lines in the trenches and everything are very much stiff doesn't have apparently this divide in the city it has always be. under control for a while now since since you know. and basically.

we knew well we i.e. the syrian government the. allies the everyone who wanted to get rid of the they knew where to bomb and the fighters within the city couldn't entrenched themselves very much whilst the situation there is or is slightly different and the you know the fighters of know exactly where to hide and you have to be careful because they hide among civilians didn't have to leave areas apparently where you can bomb without having or causing collateral damage so it will take some time but the good news is the syrian army having crossed the euphrates a little bit south of daters or is now heading north back on the other side of the euphrates the eastern bank. is in circling those forces from behind so this would also hope for the speed up the clearing of the resort itself but it

would also take some time just on another aspect to get your thoughts and the city of iraq north of we're looking all of them up there in eastern syria that's where the u.s. backed up aeration is ongoing the russian military has said that the coalition is using the wrong tucker takes us there trying to destroy the city's water supplies which of course impact greatly on civilians your thoughts on that aspect. well yes i mean we're hearing a lot of reports that. the bombing of the american since this operation started four months ago. hasn't been very accurate they couldn't care less about what they are bombing whether this is severe or is a story important infrastructure that the population could use later on or not and apparently being hidden behind civilians all the time it's called. the lot of civilian casualties but let me let me just give you one example of how the united

states are not really. up scratch in the game the diet she is playing and a few weeks back when the syrian army and the eleven his army and hezbollah it. launched an operation in eastern lebanon to get rid of die there was an agreement whereby. by which the. fighters would go with their families using buses to words there is are the americans bombed and stopped those and this mark fired because now there is apparently an agreement for the remaining di's forces to get out of rocket but they are fusing without taking. the hostages with them which tells you that the united states policy has backfired and they are forcing somehow to even if they don't do not necessarily wish so to hide behind civilians you know that they haven't been very clever about this we appreciate your time and thoughts as always thanks for taking it so early on this

breaking news over the last few hours as well political analyst amar speaking to us live. another story we're keeping across this hour the historic nuclear agreement with iran is in jeopardy and after president he won't certify tehran's compliance with the deal his decision comes despite the global nuclear watchdog as well as u.s. and european officials saying iran is keeping its side of the deal we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence more terror and the very real threat of iran's nuclear breakout importantly iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal. so the move means the u.s. congress no has sixty days to decide whether to reimpose sanctions against iran as

well as come up with new legislation to try and amend the nuclear deal but if those negotiations fail trump the deal will be terminated which risks undermining the fragile balance the nuclear deal has secured here's why the american president might be considering ripping up the agreement. four reasons why trump needs to pick a fight with iran. after all his policy flip flops he needs to stand firm on something iran will do just to save face threat posed by iran whose chief exports are violent bloodshed and chaos all nations of. must work together to isolate. washington's also getting worried by iran's growing influence in the region iran has been allowed to run wild throughout the middle east for the last eight years. but let's not forget money iran is the evil enemy cup's is so

a lot more weapons than the compliant. and responsive to the united states and our military. community is very happy thank you. i am of the cherry on top pressuring iran means pleasing if close friend israel common danger. for decades around israel before reading the region and causing so much to buy a land with its soldiers. and i want you to know how much we appreciate. an american policy on iran which you enunciated so clearly it's very hard to say what his what his goal is his is he trying to go to iran into taking some actually really the pressure on trial is coming from is his biggest sponsor is financial sponsors and

fundraisers and they are absolutely all virtually ready for a war with iran. president responded to double trump claims by saying it's not up to any single leader to make decisions about a global agreement. this is an international multilateral deal that has been ready fight by the un security council it is a un document is it possible for a president to unilaterally discern a fight this important international deal apparently he's not in the know it is not a document between iran and the us so he can't treated the way he likes. well it took nine years of tough negotiations before the deal was finally reached in twenty fifteen although the standoff over iran's nuclear activities stretched by more than a decade and was widely regarded as one of the world's most urgent crises and it wasn't only the u.s. that painstakingly negotiated the terms it was the combined efforts of russia china

britain france and germany to the u.s. secretary of state has been trying to rally european allies over trumps this but so far they have mostly reacted angrily. for it in europe and the region early version or to present the united states as many posts not this one it is not a bilateral agreement it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it we cannot afford as international community as europe for sure to dismantle and nuclear agreement that is working and delivering especially now this is a difficult and in our view dangerous signal the agreement with iran has shown for the first time that it's possible to prevent war through negotiations with the destruction of this agreement would mean that others around the world would no longer rely on such treaties it's therefore

a danger that goes far beyond iran and we in europe germany france the u.k. and the e.u. we stand by this agreement with iran and we want to preserve the agreement i think it will will further estrange our relations with our european allies it will draw them closer together and i think actually closer to the russians and the chinese just things stand now the iranians have the support of the russians the chinese and all of our european allies it's washington this isolated. ukrainian nationalists have been marking seventy five years since the creation of the ukrainian nationalist insurgent army in the capital kiev. the army was funded during the second world war in one thousand nine hundred forty two and collaborated with nazi germany during the conflict against the soviet union in one thousand nine hundred forty three the insurgent ukrainian forces adopted a policy of. expelling the polish population from ukraine which poland later

declared a genocide it's also believed the army was responsible for the killing of ukrainian . moscow is concerned the us is taking the world towards another arms race with global repercussions story just after that. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. have to be right to be close this is what before three of them can't be good. interested always in the water. pressure. in case you're new to the

game this is how it works the economy is built around corporate corporations washington. media. business to run this country business. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. sixty minutes into the program welcome back russia is concerned by the expansion of america's. systems stating it's a pushing the world into it new arms race the russian defense ministry put forward its figures on

a joint briefing with china at the united nations according to data compiled by sixty u.s. contre missiles in europe and around one hundred fifty in the asia pacific region but the total number is expected to grow to a thousand in the next five years. parts of russia's concern is over the so-called prompt global strike system the russian defense ministry say is that the u.s. is closely working on the project i think it would not require nuclear weapons but would be just as destructive with more. if you didn't think the world was scary enough this might just push you over the edge the russian defense ministry says that washington is one step closer to developing a prompt global strike system the pentagon has no move to step closer to the development of a pro global strike system such systems are designed to achieve the same results as nuclear weapons so let's break down the jargon problem global strike or p.j.s is

a system that can carry out a person guided conventional air strike anywhere in the world within an hour conventional air strike implies dropping projectile such as barrels or steel pipes from high altitudes and high speeds and anything release from the height of over one hundred kilometers instantly turns into a deadly bomb thanks to the gained momentum and explosion equal the power of a nuclear one except no fallout they even coined a term for it kinetic bombardment and here's the kicker kinetic bombardment is not prohibited by either the outer space treaty or the anti-ballistic missile treaty if that's not worrying enough wait till you see the report penned by a congress think tank earlier this year it's packed with possible drawbacks to the system saying that it could in fact prove destabilizing in a crisis for a number of reasons for example the report mentions the possibility of the us as adversaries taking the p.t.s. launch for a nuclear strike which could trigger a nuclear response and of course once one world power obtains a prompt strike system everyone will be racing to be the second pushing the world

into a new arms race there are concerns by countries that the probable strike would allow another country to do a strike on another country without using nuclear weapons as a way to take advantage of these new technologies and that's why the you're seeing this arms race either we need a new agreement between countries or we need to figure out a way to ban any kind of weaponization of space that would not be good for world security and again is just causing another cold war type arms race. austria's right wing is once again in contention for a place in government ahead of sunday's vote polls suggest a strong showing for the anti immigration freedom party grouping is currently in second place here you can see the latest polls that we have in front the centrist people's party now its leader on the current foreign minister sebastian kurtz sees

if he becomes chancellor he will end power sharing with the social democrats and then seek a coalition with any other party including perhaps the right wing with which he shares a strong immigration stance now the latest results in austria only adding to concern over the rise of populism at the heart of europe in fronts the staunch immigration hardliner and nationalist marine le pen was a leading contender in this year's presidential election of course and then last month germany saw a right wing party enter parliament for the first time in nearly sixty years and austria may be about to follow suit. up the board. turn it into gold. bushies the schip bill of rights.

there is a history of frustration with the established political parties during the global recession in twenty nine europe in austria where he hard until one of these with the stream of migrants into anything old that enormously increased popular discontent. following events in austria forests polish lier. there's a lot of intrigue over whether or not the right wing freedom party will do as well as its sisters elsewhere in europe in france and in germany form of fringe parties making it big on the political scene the us skeptic anti immigrant freedom party is seriously complicates things for the leading center right people's party the v p o v p started to harsh in its agenda to attract voters i'm here to pro freedom party

rally the last one before sunday's parliamentary election in which the party is expected to come second many here accuse one of its main rivals of stealing some of its proposals there for nobody is coming into the country without registration without a passport no one should be allowed to enter austria i list we'll do everything possible to stop illegal immigration i am asking that social benefits for non austrians be significantly reduced. we'll do everything we can to end the abuse of our social welfare system by immigrant the people's party has always been the pro european party quite conservative and now they're copied to the nationalist program of the freedom party they're now not trying to be like the blue party they're trying to be against foreign. multicultural things that's copy paste party because of freedom party was successful and so far it's working well

for the people's party with its new young leader sebastian kurtz at the helm presenting himself as a bold reformist and not shying away from bowing the policies of the controversial freedom party it's slated to win sunday's parliamentary election some expose suggests curt's might even approach the freedom party to form a coalition government not least of all because of its fallout with its previous partner the social democrats i don't think that a big coalition the collision between conservatives and social democrats will come again because no one. i think there will be a change people want change people won't change the european political landscape is shifting with parties that were on the fringes will do even more influence policy r.t. . switching gears now one of the world's largest offense for young people is underway here in russia moscow is welcoming the nineteenth world festival of youth students and we'll bring you all the highlights from there over the next week
